About this Event

Ready to finally take your flash off the camera and make it work with natural light instead of nuking your scene into oblivion? Join photographer and Westcott Top Pro Josh Russell for a hands-on workshop designed for anyone who’s ready to ditch that flat on-camera look and start using off-camera flash the right way. This class is all about keeping it simple. We’ll walk through how to balance flash with ambient light using one flash and one softbox. You’ll learn how to control exposure, shape light, and create clean, natural-looking images that will help you stand out—without needing a full studio setup.

You’ll learn:

  • How to mix ambient light with flash
  • Where to place your light for the most flattering results
  • How to use your camera settings intentionally (no more guessing!)
  • Why one light and one modifier is really all you need to start
  • Real-world examples and live shooting demos

BONUS: Take home a $50 PROCAM gift card — it’s like the event pays for itself!

Perfect for beginners or natural-light photographers who want to start adding flash without overcomplicating things. Bring your camera, your questions, and get ready to actually understand how this stuff works.
